English translation
3677. Narrated Ibn 'Abbās رضي الله عنهما: While I was standing amongst the people who were invoking Allāh for 'Umar bin Al-Khaṭṭāb who was lying (dead) on his bed, a man behind me rested his elbows on my shoulder and said, “(O 'Umar!) May Allāh bestow His Mercy on you. I always hoped that Allāh will keep you with your two companions, for I often heard Allāh's Messenger ﷺ saying, 'I, Abū Bakr and 'Umar were (somewhere). I, Abū Bakr and 'Umar did (something). I, Abū Bakr and 'Umar set out.' So I hoped that Allāh will keep you with both of them.” I turned back to see that the speaker was Alī bin 'Abi Ṭālib.
